Bekas PM Dapat Hadiah Kasut Dari Jasanya

Shoes thrown at Howard during Q&A

Former prime minister John Howard has had shoes thrown at him during an episode of the ABC's Q and A.

Mr Howard had just finished answering questions about the Iraq war when the protester struck.

‘‘That is for Iraqi dead,’’ the man appeared to shout at Mr Howard as he threw two shoes at the former prime minister.

A female audience member then shouted: ‘‘You’ve got blood on your hands’’, before walking out of the studio.

The man was led out by ABC staff.

Mr Howard appeared to take the incident in his stride. "It’s all right, don’t worry. Forget it, forget it. Relax," he said.

An audience member then told Mr Howard "if that’s all they’ve got to throw at you, you’ve got nothing to worry about".

The incident had echoes of an infamous incident when shoes were thrown at former US president George Bush during a trip to Iraq in 2008.

Mr Howard was a strong advocate of the US-led invasion of Iraq. -AAP
